Black and White
A double Daytona build





I'vebeen spamming the forums like mad these last few days, but I really had some backlog builds :)

These are a couple Daytonas I used for experimentation, I wanted to see how far I could go using only the minimum aftermarket parts.

The main efforts went into modding the dial. Both had the markers removed before I aged, relumed and applied a matte texture on the dial.
Well, of course these are not the highest end builds but the result isn't bad imho.

Parts list

Cartel case lightly reshaped and refinished
Bezel reworked
Clark T21 crystal
Athaya crown and tube
Alpha thin chrono hands (on Black)
Dial aged, matted and relumed

White:

























Black:






























That's all for now, hope you enjoyed the pics :)

These are quite seductive ladies! Could you tell the basic models you’d use to customise these ones? Are the sub dials active or fake (chrono ?), what movement? If it happens that you think about selling one of these in the next couple of weeks/months, please feel free to PM me . Great job!

I used a cartel base with asymmetric pushers and st19 (venus clone) movement. Its a solid 2 register chronograph movement which means the subdial at 6 (hour counter) is frozen.
